North End |
|
(Shopping - Shopping Districts) |
|
Boston 02109 |
|
|
| |
Description:
NORTH END. Visit the oldest residential neighborhood in the city. The North End is a potpourri of friendly banter about the Red Sox, cobblestone streets, and enticing smells of authentic Old Country cuisine. The majority of the residents, restaurants, and shops here are Italian. Many of the sites on the Freedom Trail are located in this area, including Paul Revere's House and the Old North Church. It is recommended that visitors walk since the streets are very narrow and parking is virtually impossible ... And walking makes it easier to stop off for a snack at one of the fresh produce markets. |
